Yeah, sure, set up a recovery process I don't need anywhere else in life and hope I never mess that up. Then have several thousand people (or far more if I'm lucky) rely on it, I'm sure that'll go well!
I don't need recovery codes for anything in my professional nor personal life outside open source programming.
I don't think that's true though. I have recovery codes for my MFA for Azure, Google, Fastmail, and many others. I'm wouldn't count on being able to convince support to let me into any of these accounts if I lost my MFA and my backups. They might, but as the article mentioned it'd be hard to do in a way that doesn't defeat the purpose of MFA in the first place.
You don’t have any other MFAs you need to manage in your digital life? That seems ... odd. It seems like you’re deciding to make an issue of, well, how MFA is _supposed_ to work.
